Let’s play a game. Tell me the first word that comes to mind when I say:
wedding . . . bride
baseball . . . hot dogs
Thanksgiving . . . turkey
party . . . Chex mix
Yeah, that’s right. A party wouldn’t be complete without Chex Mix . . . it seems to fill the quota for “salty snacks” at a party. And it pleases most everyone. Here is the traditional recipe from waaaay back.
6 T butter
2 T Worcestershire sauce
1½ t seasoned salt
¾ t garlic powder
½ t onion powder
3 c Corn Chex
3 c Rice Chex
3 c Wheat Chex (or more Rice Chex if you’re me)
1 c mixed nuts
1 c bite-size pretzels
Heat oven to 250°F. Melt butter in large roasting pan in oven. Stir in seasonings. Stir in remaining ingredients until evenly coated. Bake 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on paper towels to cool. Store in airtight container.
Carol, I love your posts! And I laughed out loud in church when you talked about falling down the stairs (and then cheered when you made it safely down).
I LOVE Chex Mix, but I usually really load it up with the Worcestershire sauce because I adore the flavor that gives. I love the Wheat Chex too…call me crazy!
Thanks, Jan, for your kind words AND for laughing at my jokes. That’s a true friend, right there!
I’m glad you like Wheat Chex . . . brings balance to the world. My Chex Mix photo was definitely a little too “fair” or “blonde” if you know what I mean. At least your Chex Mix has a good mixture!
